First of all this is train related as it happened at an LHS. Secondly, this story just happened. Thirdly, it just happened at Van hobbies in Vancouver, BC. And now the story. This guy brings in a box of train equipment and other goodies to sell to the store. The store buys the lot for an...

Catt, I bounced this since you were having the same problem I was having. I found that the driver for my internet card on the computer was installed twice. The conflicts this created was the culprit behind all my boots. Now that I have only one driver installed, the boots have stopped.

Anyone for Wreck Beach in Vancouver?

What is weirder is how this worm showed up on my doorstep. When I opened my private email account which I don't make public I had three delivery failure notifications of emails that I sent out, but couldn't be delivered. Now I knew I hadn't sent any emails out from Out Look Express so I was...

I am starting to get lots of virus at my home address which is strange since my public address is the hotmail one you see here. In the past two hours, I've received four emails with bugs in them. I have yet to receive a virus email at my hotmail address, but I am getting them at my home...

I have talked about the Black and Decker Navigator Saw here before, but I thought I would give it a plug as one of the most useful tools around the home and the layout. If you are looking for a cheap saw that just about does it all, give the Navigator Saw a look. The saw itself is a ugly but...

If you need to "renew" yourself, just hit the "refresh" button on the tool bar....lol.:thumb:

From Trainboard: I'm afraid I have some terrible news regarding my stepfather Don Brown. He passed away this evening after a long fight with various infections and diabetes. I know he was very active in a lot of the discussion groups. His wife asked that any newsgroups/forums be notified of...

No offence taken, I just wanted to be clear why I do it in one forum. Its actually a bit of work for me, as I run the party, then have to meet my own goals. Originally I didn't know it would take off like it has, but for me it worked wonders. This isn't 100% true, but about 75% true. I...

Don't use vacuum sealed cookie sheets to hold the rocks you have found as you back the rocks in the oven to kill tiny living things. Who knew those cookie sheets had a special layer on them?

The spirit of the layout party is just that, its a party and the more the merrier. That's why I invite people from different forums. Right now it is something special that no one is doing. If every forum hosts layout parties at any given time, then it the "specialness" of it gets watered...

Mrs. Mac I'm just doing this at www.trainboard.com Its easier to keep track of people and goals and to have a "party" atmosphere if we are meeting all in one forum Joining is free. A number of us are active in more than one forum. Overall I am active here at the gauge (mostly on chat)...

Below is the invite I posted for my last layout party. This will be explained at your read further. This is my third year of hosting these parties so I am actually getting a sense of what I am doing now. I will be advertising in a number of forums, so apologises to those who bounce between...

And an order of poutine and another order of french fries with vinegar. For the yanks in the crowd, it isn't malt vinegar, but clear.

Some thoughts, I think ultimately an association with the NMRA should be fostered. Ideally when the membership is at a strong level. I personally feel that the NMRA should now be run like the American Automobile Association, where different countries have their own structure, so we have the...

Welcome to the forum, you'll find lots of knowledgeable and kind people here. Concerning DCC. The two largest systems in North America are Digitrax (the largest) and Lenz (also known as Atlas). Either will work well for you, are expandable and extensive in what they can do. The future is...

Tom, Its okay, you don't need the "I'm taking my son to see" to justify seeing the movie. I guess I'll be seeing it too; I'll be taking my son.

Some one in a "backdrop" thread raised the topic of backdrop support and styrene was raised as a possibility. I have a friend who just installed 55 feet of it on his layout (but double sided so over 110 feet of it really). The first issue was seams. He experimented and went with an auto bondo...

Russ, I think part of the problem of NMRA dues is that many years ago they almost gave away life memberships without using proper underwriting procedures to establish proper lifetime dues. I know two of my friends are life time members and they both purchased life time memberships in the early...
